The employee can then do any or all of the following: 1. After January 1st and prior to March 31st, request or volunteer to be assigned enough vacation days to bring the accrued vacation time amount below the maximum. All vacations must be scheduled in accordance with the rules and processes defined in section 5.09 of the MOU. All assigned vacation must be completed prior to April 1st. 2. Prior to April 1st, request vacation redemption, in accordance with Section 9F of the Personnel Rules, to bring the accrued vacation time amount below the maximum by April 1st, or 3. On or after March 1st and prior to April 1st, request conversion of accrued vacation time to accrued sick time. A maximum of 40 hours can be converted from accrued vacation time to accrued sick time in any one year. This conversion can be made only by an employee who has been notified that they are or will be over the maximum, can only be made during this period, and will only be approved if such action will allow the employee to drop below the maximum accrued vacation limit. 4. If no action is taken, the employee will cease accruing additional vacation hours starting with the first pay period beginning after April 1st, until enough vacation is taken that the accrued vacation time drops below the maximum.
